Suggest Remedy For Pain In Ribs

I have pain over my right side of ribs. I thought maybe I pulled my side several weeks ago. Tonight, I got up from couch and feel a pain worse than before. It feels like veins bulging out of side over right side of ribs. This has been bothering me for some time. It is hard to sleep on right side. Pain comes and go but now constant. When I raise my right arm over my head you can see several indents between ribs and feel the veins(I think) across the ribs with touch. Not sure what this could be, but very tender to touch.

Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to costochondritis. Costochondritis is an inflammation of the cartilage in the rib cage. I suggest using an anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. If the symptoms continue, you should consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
